Chapter 493: Use Matthew's card well

Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!

As soon as he got out of the car, Matthew was surrounded by many entertainment reporters. Even if there were three bodyguards guarding him, and Marvel Studios had prepared security personnel in advance to open the way, he was still blocked in a small space in front of the Marvel Studios office building. There was no movement in the square.

"Mr. Horner, Marvel Studios has just been established, it's still an empty shell, and it has never made any movies independently. Why did you invest $40 million in them?"

Matthew stood in place and couldn't move, all kinds of problems rushed towards him like waves.

"Iron Man is just a second-tier superhero of Marvel Comics. Why did you choose to invest in Tony Stark?"

"Everyone doesn't understand your investment, can you give a reasonable explanation?"

"Matthew, do you understand investing?"

Hearing these questions, Matthew did not answer immediately, the scene was really messy.

Of course, he won't just leave. Marvel Studios communicated with him yesterday, expecting such a situation today, and is ready to answer some questions.

As long as he doesn't ask questions about the red trousers, he answers very patiently.

Now that he has reached an agreement with Marvel to invest a huge sum of US$40 million in "Iron Man", Matthew will also cooperate with the promotion, which is directly related to his income.

He patted Brown-Williams on the arm, and Mr. Bodyguard, who had been standing guard beside him, understood, and immediately shouted loudly, "Quiet! Quiet! Matthew has something to say, you guys are too messy. It's gone!"

Hearing that Matthew was going to answer the question, the reporter paparazzi no longer chaotic as before, and gradually became quieter.

Matthew saw that the battlefield with guns and guns turned into a chaotic market, said, "I just heard some questions, everyone is wondering why I should invest in the movie "Iron Man", right?"

"Yes!"

"That's right."

There was a commotion all around.

Matthew raised his hand and made a downward gesture. The miscellaneous voices gradually disappeared, and the scene became orderly.

"Invest in "Iron Man" because I'm a Tony Stark fan!" Matthew turned on the state of lying again, and it was easy to act anyway, "In the comics world, the "Iron Man" series is closely related to "Spider-Man" ", X-Men and Fantastic Four. This comic has been popular for decades and has always been concerned by fans like me. Because he is not a mutant, or bitten by some insect. To. He is just an ordinary person, using his intelligence to create a steel suit, one of the greatest inventions of mankind."

He shrugged, "Maybe many people think I'm dizzy, but I always think Iron Man is a very interesting character; in "Spider-Man" and "X-Men", Marvel has cooperated with other companies and has been successful Create a superhero."

Although Marvel really lacks adaptation experience, Matthew can't say that, "Marvel has a successful and brilliant experience in adapting its superhero movies, and I believe this "Iron Man" will definitely succeed."

"On the other hand, I have talked to the director and screenwriter." Matthew's lie gradually reached the sky, "This "Iron Man" will touch on social issues and the world we live in. This story is about redemption, and there are Ordinary people transformed into heroes."

In the lounge of the office building, Kevin Feige and Avi Allard watched the situation in front of the building through the window. All the reporters were paying attention to Matthew Horner, and no one was watching Marvel Studios more. at a glance.

Obviously, the nascent Marvel Studios is nowhere near as attractive as Matthew Horner.

"He stole all the limelight by himself." Kevin Feige was a little jealous.

Avi Allard kept looking over there, "We need someone like that, someone who can attract attention and visibility, and Matthew Horner is that kind of person."

Kevin Feige sighed and nodded slightly.

"You've also seen the recent reports and publicity about the Spartan 300." Avi Allard continued, "Warner Bros. hasn't done much yet, just relying on the topic created by Matthew Horner alone. , the name of the film spread all over the United States and became the object of widespread discussion.”

"Who would have thought..." Kevin Feige showed a helpless smile, "He was born with such good conditions."

Avi Allard urged, "We must use the card of Matthew Horner. He can bring us more than $40 million in funds."

Kevin Feige, of course, understood what he meant and said, "I know what to do."

In front of the office building, the short interview was over, and Matthew Horner, under the guard of security personnel and bodyguards, squeezed towards the gate with difficulty.

Seeing all this, Kevin Feige's idea became more and more firm, and the promotion of "Iron Man" must be closely linked with the popular Hollywood star.

It seems that several months have passed since he started paying attention to him, and his popularity in the media and the topic among the public does not seem to have really slipped.

Kevin Feige thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, Matthew Horner is indeed a very smart star who knows how to market himself.

It's only good for Iron Man to work with someone like that.

Having said that, do you want to find a way to make news between Matthew Horner and the "Iron Man" crew?

Plan this well.

"He entered the building." Avi Allard reminded at this time, "Let's go to the conference room and complete the signing ceremony."

In the huge conference room, there are only more than 30 media reporters. Marvel Studios chose to hold the signing ceremony in its own conference room instead of renting a large enough press room for the sake of saving money.

Matthew didn't say much. After coming to the conference room, he sat opposite Avi Arad, signed the prepared "contract", exchanged contracts, shook hands in front of many cameras, and the signing ceremony was successfully completed.

Compared to the $40 million investment, the signing ceremony was a bit shabby.

Matthew didn't comment on this, because he knew that Marvel's life was really not very good. The past two years have been slightly better. In order to maintain the company's operation a few years ago, even the copyright of the hero can be sold.

After the signing was completed, Matthew stood with Kevin Feige and Avi Allard for a group photo with the media.

The three stood side by side in a row, looking very close, and there was no shadow of the sword in the previous negotiation.

Of course, it was a mutually beneficial collaboration, Marvel Studios plugged most of the much-needed budget gap, and Matthew got the right to invest in the Marvel superhero movie he wanted.

After the group photo was over, and after a routine interview with the media, Matthew followed Avi Allard and Kevin Feige, left the conference room, and entered the reception room on the same floor.

Lawyers for both parties and representatives of the producer unions were waiting in the parlour, where Matthew and Marvel signed the real contract.

Matthew entered the reception room, first greeted the legal team headed by Lawyer Wilson, and then came to Helen Herman. Helen Herman whispered, "There is no problem with the contract."

"I see."

He took the pen prepared by Wilson's lawyer and, like Avi Allard, signed the cooperation in triplicate.

After the signing was completed, Lawyer Wilson took away the contract that belonged to Matthew, and everyone else also left the reception room, only Matthew and Helen Herman remained, and Avi Arad also left. He wanted to Catch the flight back to New York, and Kevin Feige is enough for the rest of the crew.

"Kevin, is the male lead confirmed?" Matthew asked directly.

He knew enough about the current state of the Iron Man project before and during the negotiation. The film has entered the actual preparatory stage. Kevin Fitch and Jon Favreau are in the Hughes Aircraft Factory. Preparatory work in the stock photography studio.

In terms of important actors, Jon Favreau will play part-time Tony Stark's bodyguard and driver Happy, Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow will play Pepper, and Jeff Bridges will play the villain Iron. Overlord.

In order to compress the remuneration, Jeff Bridges even pulled it half-heartedly.

Among the scripts he has read, Iron Bull is the biggest villain, but the crew gave Jeff Bridges a character script and told him that Iron Bull is not the biggest villain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There will be a reversal, The biggest villain is Iron Man's nemesis in the comics, Lord Man.

Jeff Bridges is also considered a Hollywood figure, and may have doubts about pure villains.

In short, the "Iron Man" project faced many difficulties, and Kevin Feige tried his best to solve these difficulties.

Hearing Matthew asking the actor, Kevin Feige shook his head, "Not yet, there were originally three candidates, you, Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage, but..."

Since Matthew has invested in this project, he has to find a way to make "Iron Man" develop on the right track, and said, "I recommend the personal choice, you see if it is suitable."

Now sitting in a boat, Kevin Feige is not worried about Matthew pitting himself, and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"Do you remember Robert Downey Jr.?" Matthew said the name that was directly equated with Iron Man. "I think he should be appropriate."

Before Kevin Feige could speak, he added, "Tony Stark is rich, handsome, funny, charming, made big mistakes, and finally came to his senses, which is very similar to Robert Downey Jr. "

Helen Herman looked at Matthew strangely, because she knew very well that Matthew had never dealt with Robert Downey Jr.

After all, this is also the leading actor of a big production with a production cost of 140 million US dollars. With Matthew's personality, how could he recommend someone who doesn't matter?

Matthew noticed Helen Herman, but he didn't think about explaining it. This kind of thing is not clear.

"Well..." Kevin Feige considered for a while, "I'll get in touch with Robert Downey Jr. first."

(The matter of Jeff Bridges was said in an interview later, possibly for publicity needs.)
